Titles (Computer Registers)
Computer registers prove the ownership of land and the rights and restrictions applicable to the land. They have replaced paper Certificates of Title as evidence of land ownership.
Description
Computer registers are images recorded in the computer system Landonline. Find out more about Landonline. There are four kinds of computer registers:
- Computer Freehold Registers (CFRs) for freehold (fee simple) land
- Computer Interest Registers (CIRs) for leasehold land, or for any land of a lesser interest than freehold
- Computer Unit Title Registers (CUTRs) for stratum freehold or leasehold interests in a unit titled development, and
- Composite Computer Registers (CCRs), which are combinations of the other three types of computer register. For example, a cross lease title is a combination of freehold and leasehold computer registers.
Current with diagram
The current with diagram view shows anything currently registered against the title, including current proprietors and interests. It also includes a title diagram of the deposited plan.
Historical record
The historical record view shows the original proprietor when the title was issued, and all the mortgages, transfers and other interests that have occured since then. The historic view also contains a scanned image of the paper Certificate of Title prior to conversion to a digital file.
Title plans
A title plan is a full image of the plan deposited when the title was created. Title plans do not contain all the information available in survey plans, which include survey marks and observations.
Research & ordering
By utilising the prior reference number on a computer register or Certificate of Title, it is possible to track back the ownership of the land for many years. In many cases, this will be as far as the original Certificate of Ttitle issued under the earlier Land Transfer Acts. In some cases it may lead back to the original Crown grant, or Deed, which proved ownership, prior to the registration of the title.
